Doug Ford says Donald Trump ‘probably the most disliked politician in the world’ among Canadians

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says U.S. President Donald Trump is likely the most disliked politician Canadians can think of, inside the country or out, as he plows ahead with new tariffs in his trade war.

Ford pulled no punches when asked in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Thursday what the general impression of Trump is in Canada.

“He’s probably the most disliked politician in the world in Canada because he’s attacked his closest family member, and that’s the way we look on it,” Ford said.

France strips residency from Moroccan man who lit cigarette at Arc de Triomphe war memorial

France has reportedly stripped the residency permit of a man who lit a cigarette at a war memorial in Paris after he was caught on camera.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau on Tuesday called the actions of a 47-year-old Moroccan man “indecent and pathetic” following his arrest. Video footage of him lighting a cigarette beneath the much-visited Arc de Triomphe sparked outrage after it was circulated.

It’s not a coincidence’: after Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison move … what next?

When Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security prison camp last week, despite being convicted of sex trafficking for Jeffrey Epstein, her move fueled ever-growing speculation about authorities’ handling of the late financier’s crimes.

For many, the timing of Maxwell’s sudden relocation from a Florida penitentiary to a Texas lockup known for its more campus feel and celebrity inmates was especially suspect – with two Epstein victims reportedly describing the event as a “cover-up”.

Ann Coulter joins The Winston Marshall Show for a no-filter conversation on Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the powerful elites who still haven’t faced justice.

NATO’s rearmament reignites age-old defence debate of quantity vs. quality

As NATO nations, including Canada, ramp up rearmament, they are increasingly confronted with various ghosts of the Cold War, notably the resilience of Russian industry and its capacity to be able to deliver weapons — that while often technologically inferior to the West — are “good enough” to wage war.

Moscow’s ability to produce en masse drones, missiles, aircraft and other weapons of war has been hampered by sanctions and a long-term erosion of quality is taking place.

Five auto CEOs warned Carney in May that EV mandate would ‘inflict serious damage’ across industry

OTTAWA — Less than two weeks after the Liberal cabinet was sworn in, the presidents of the five major automakers appealed directly to Prime Minister Mark Carney, requesting him to “urgently” repeal the federal zero-emission vehicle sales mandate, warning of industry-wide repercussions if it is not.

More than two months later, and with no public indication as to whether the government will listen, frustration is only building, says Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, which sent the May 26 letter and represents Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.

Carney is as bad as Junior and possibly as twisted as his wife when it comes to evangelical eco-nuttery.

Israeli security cabinet to meet over plan to fully occupy Gaza

Israel’s security cabinet is meeting on Thursday to decide on whether to order a complete military takeover of the Gaza Strip – a move the UN says would risk “catastrophic consequences”.

Israeli media say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees this as the only way to destroy Hamas and free hostages still held by the group following the breakdown of ceasefire talks.

Reports, though, say the head of the military and some ministers disagree, amid warnings such a move could be disastrous for the hostages and Palestinian civilians.

The tradition of a summer job is threatened by Canada’s misguided migration strategy

Ottawa has exponentially hiked the number of low-wage migrants it brings into the country, creating more competition for job-seeking young people.

The search for a summer job is a rite of passage.

Filled with anxiety and reward, the quest in Canada offers young people an introduction to the marketplace, where they will spend a large portion of their lives, hopefully leading to independence and self-confidence.

But this summer in Canada, opportunities for people between the ages of 15 and 24 are abysmal. Their hunt is full of dead ends and discouragement. Talk about making hope-filled young people feel unwanted.

The Liberal government and their Corporate cronies should be jailed for the ruin they have visited upon Canada with their hateful mass immigration policy.

Germans Increasingly Fear Repercussions for Speaking Their Minds, Survey Shows

A growing number of Germans believe that freedom of expression is being curtailed in their country—in a recent survey 84% of respondents stated they think people hold back their opinions out of fear of negative consequences.

The findings point to widespread concerns about the health of democratic discourse in Germany.

The survey, conducted by the INSA polling institute, reveals that only 9% of participants believe people can express themselves freely without fear.

GOLDSTEIN: A Palestinian state won’t lead to peace in the Mideast

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

The latest call for the creation of a Palestinian state by Prime Minister Mark Carney and the leaders of many other countries is a classic example of politicians believing they have to say something and this is something.

The political fraud inherent in this call, however, is the implication that creating a Palestinian state will end the suffering of the Palestinians and ensure Israel’s security.
